Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1736961A1] There is provided herein a system and method for automatically enhancing or creating ringtones for use on cellular phones. In the preferred embodiment, a user will be able to create an enhanced ringtone that is recognizable and distinct when played via a cell phone. The user will preferably begin by selecting the input audio material (1010). An automatic analysis of the audio material is preferably conducted in order to determine a synthetic tone series that best represents it (1040). An enhanced ringtone is then created by combining the original audio material with the tone series to form a unified audio work (1070). The instant invention is primarily intended for use with cell phones but would also be useful elsewhere and this is especially so where the device that plays the enhanced audio material has limited audio capabilities.
